(Archived) with registry hack, sign in without password

[http://xbeta.info 0]

After sign out Evernote win 4, normally you need enter ID and password to re sign in Evernote.

But with registry hack, we can easily bypass the ID/password screen.

Only one step is necessary:

modify the "LastLogin" key value as the user ID, in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Evernote\Evernote], and Evernote will open the specific local database directly.

It's not good for multi-users on one PC,

but on the other hand, it's helpful for those who cannot connect internet after sign out Evernote.

PS: One user (keeds) reported this issue on my blog, after my test, it's true. Full detail can be read in Chinese: http://xbeta.info/evernote-05.htm

This still works. If that registry key is set, Evernote appears to log in automatically, even if you changed your password between Evernote launches.

Still works. I just tried it.

Maybe I am missing something, but I would think the solution is: don't make the registry modification.

Yes, you're missing something. This is a potential security risk, if all it takes is one small regedit to bypass the login prompt.

I assume that you cannot sync with this 'hack' in place?
